New agreement between ICA and Supima
The International Cotton Association (ICA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with non-profit trade association Supima. The two organisations said they wanted to foster co-operation.
ICA is a membership organisation with 650 members. Most cotton trading throughout the world takes place under ICA rules and bylaws. For its part, Supima represents growers of the extra-long staple fibre cotton of the same name that farmers in California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico produce.
